Learning About Art

This term for art we have been learning about Pablo Picasso. He was a famous painter who invented cubism which is artwork that is made out of shapes. Picasso was born in Spain but he grew up in France. His father was an art teacher but Pablo was a bad student!  When he was 19 he went to an art school. He became famous for his different styles of painting which were abstract and very original.

We each made one of his favourite patterns or crests. We also wrote a biography of him and did a self portrait in true Picasso style. We did some “blind” drawings where we had to keep our eyes closed and our pencils could not leave the paper. Our learning experiences about Picasso were fun and we learnt a lot about his life and his artwork.
